What? Carolina can brew? Who would have thought? And NoDa is pouring some of the best quality brews I've had in my visit to North Carolina the land of Nascar and macrobrews. NoDa is like No Duh? Yes they have great beer. If you can make it out to the tasting room (only a $8 cab from uptown Charlotte), they will serve you a flight of their tasters to find your favorite. I was impressed at the quality of all that I tried. My tasting notes (your mileage may vary):
Ramble on Red = Ramble on Smooth and tasty
Woody and Wilcox = and excellent medium hop IPA
Midniight Madness Black IPA = good, but I craved more hops
Coco Loco = very tasty coconut porter and a GABF silver medal winner
Hop Drop and Roll IPA = nice and hoppy and 7.2% ABV (be careful)
Bottom line, if you see NoDa on a restaurant menu, you won't be disappointed.
